Q1:

A water treatment plant is required to process 28800 m3/d of raw water (density = 1000 kg/m3, kinematic viscosity = 10-6 m2/s). The rapid mixing tank imparts tank a velocity gradient of 900s-1 to blend 35 mg/l of alum with the flow for a detention time of 2 minutes. The power input (W) required for rapid mixing is

A 32.4

B 36

C 324

D 32400

ANS:D - 32400

Dynamic viscosity = kinematic viscosity * Density.
